Pattern fill + arrows
by Peter Polinak 04 Apr '04

04 Apr '04

Hi! I use Inkscape 0.38cvs, and I cannot find any pattern fill features, however on the homepage I could find some screenshots of the 0.37 version (6th, 7th and 9th pictures from above), on which one can clearly see that in the Fill and Stroke dialog, there are two extra options beside "No Paint", "Paint", "Linear Gradient" , and "Radial Gradient" . I guess these are some kind of Pattern Fill features. Where do they come from, and why do I not have them?? The question is the similar regarding the 4th picture from above in the 0.37 screenshots : There is a "Stroke Style" dialog, clearly with arrows! I don't have such a feature in my version! >From where do these features come from, why do I not have, and how could I have them? Thanks for your answer! Regards, Peter Polinak user

I created tipsandtricks.svg which is located at share/tutorials/tipsandtricks.svg for anyone that wants to add their tips and tricks. I copied the ones from http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TricksAndTips. Please look over what I added up there and fix grammar, etc Also, I added content onto the elements tutorial. There still needs to be a final composition image for that tutorial Also, I added the path icons to the menu. Please look them over, and critique and change. They look pretty good at regular size, but there are complaints that it is too hard to see what operation is happening. I creatd them more as a general template of what should be there for those icons. If you have better ideas, please implement. I've filled in the spaces. What do you all think about the Green that Bulia chose anyway? I think I like it as the secondary color for operations and then the primary buttons are more decorative. That should prolly be written down somewhere. I'm going to be offline for the rest of the week more than likely--I have to get going on my MFA final stuff (done at UCSD in JUNE). Happy trails...

Vector Aesthetics Presentation
by Jonathan Phillips 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Hello All, I'm giving another presentation that kinda involves Inkscape at UC Berkeley on April 04, 2004. Please see http://art.berkeley.edu/040404/ if you are interested in attending. It should be very interesting. The event is free I believe and has food and whatnot. I will post info on the talk to the WIKI shortly. It is an overview of a framework I'm calling Vector Aesthetics. I will only discuss post-Bezier art/design/etc at the talk, but will end with Inkscape short-note. Anyone seeking help, or wants to have a little mini-meeting in the area, then please stop into that talk.

Inkscape and frontline
by Artemio 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hello! At inkscape.org I read: "...If you want to have tracing option, yo have to install both Autotrace and Frontline before compiling Inkscape. Inkscape automatically detects these programs, and adds inline raster to vector conversion option to image menu." I have just compiled and installed autotrace and frontline, they both work fine. I have compiled today's CVS snapshot of inkscape (it is DAMN cool, by the way, you guys ROCK!!!), but I can't see any "inline raster to vector conversion option to image menu". Please tell me what to do :-( Thanks and good luck! Artemio. -- http://artemio.net/exp ::: Artemio's hot sound tweaks [local time 20:07:57 (GMT +3) 28 March 2004] [system uptime 47 min]

Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape interface icons (please good reading and reasoning required)
by MenTaLguY 21 Mar '04

Sorry I missed the whole icons thread, but I've been dealing with family things the past couple weeks... I'm back now though. Both you and Jon have raised good points. I think it makes sense to use SVG files as icons in the same way as PNGs or XPMs or whatever other formats we also support for icons. To my mind though, having a single icons.svg is not a bad thing either, and for right now there are indeed performance reasons to do so. For the immediate future I think the standard icons should ship in icons.svg. But we should offer a range of options for third-party icon sets. Probably we should support at least: * #icon-name-goes-here in an SVG file * icon-name-goes-here.{svg,png,xpm} or whatever in a directory * icon-name-goes-here.{svg,png,xpm} etc in a .jar file Also I think we should take better advantage of the standard Gtk icon themeing facilities. Regardless, right now I have my hands full with the AST code and other projects so I can't implement it myself. If someone wants to come forward with a more detailed design proposal for this (and maybe some patches?) they are strongly encouraged to do so. -mental
